New Pornographers, The - Moves Lyrics






I believe
You've had some-
thing that's mine
All this time
So to sing along, cry
Fork it over

I live among
The alarms
Where I trip
Where they sing
So to sing along, cry
Hey, come over

Uh Uh - Uh Uh - Uh Oh-

Up the hill
Goes the type-
writered beat
Of my step
So to sing along, cry
Undiscover

And all the years
At quarter speed
Haloed and
Trembling clean
So to sing along, cry
Turning over

Uh Uh - Uh Uh - Uh Oh-

Slo-o-o-ow do-o-o-own la-a-a-a-die-e-e-es
Slo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ow do-o-o-o-o-o-o-own

These things get louder
These things get louder

The lava alarms
And your true
Villain love
Are kept at bay
So to sing along, cry
Like you wrote it

Will the beams
Be broke and crossed
Motion sensed
It's all heat
So to sing along, cry
It's not over

Uh Uh - Uh Uh - Uh Oh-

Slo-o-o-ow do-o-o-own la-a-a-a-die-e-e-es
Slo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ow do-o-o-o-o-o-o-own

These things get louder
These things get louder

So to sing along, cry
So to sing along, cry

You with all your moves
You with all your moves
You with all your moves
You with all your moves

    I had forgotten how much I like tnp

  26. R.... M....

    Not play all videos

  27. R.... M....

    Not play all videos

  28. J.... D....

    featuring dudes from Superchunk!

  29. C.... M....

    I heard this song in a car commercial in 2011. I decided to find the song and listen to it. I liked it, but I wasn't really a big music listener at the time. More recently (a year and a half ago recently) I started listening to the radio at work, and decided to listen to a bunch of the bands I regularly heard. None of the local stations play New Pornographers, but I remembered them from this song, and decided to listen to all their music. Glad I did too. Just in time to listen to Whiteout Conditions when it came out and I'm seeing them live in October.

  30. t.... ....

    GAMBINO

  31. A.... M....

    still i don't understand this.

  32. T.... G....

    are you-all just like, friends with every famous person, ever?

  33. T.... M....

    It's the entire fucking cast of the daily show.

  34. H.... ....

    Cocaine on pizza? Damn Canadians.

  35. J.... T....

    This sounds like "Gone" by Kanye! Just saying.

    I couldn't place it, but the cello on both songs is similar. Awesome!

  36. m.... s....

    AP Mike totally stole the show.

  37. c.... b....

    sounds like cage the elephents

    c.... b....

    lol u high

    c.... b....

    cory black.

  38. t.... ....

    i need to hear moves pt. 2

  39. S.... H....

    why is everyone in this music video??

    S.... H....

    unemployed comics and musicians got to eat too

    S.... H....

    Tom Sharpling directed the video and they're all friends of his. If you dont know who Tom Sharpling is look up The Best Show.

  40. C.... S....

    Why are people in Toronto handing them American money?

    C.... S....

    That's exactly it right there... to make you ask why.

    C.... S....

    because it's a lazy movie adaptation

  41. Z.... G....

    Walk Hard, the Dewey Cox Story-esque!

  42. D.... B....

    good song, bust the idea Americans care about what Canadians do one way or the other is absurd. Americans don't give a shit about Canadians - Canada has basically the same population of larger Los Angeles. They don't matter.

    D.... B....

    you... didn't get the joke did you

    D.... B....

    Why are American's the first to poke fun of other countries or try and belittle them, but anytime someone makes a joke about the U.S., American's like you lose their mind. So sensitive.

  43. R.... S....

    Great stuff, Ryan ! john ryan scrivener ;) awesome shit

  44. b.... ....

    It's really freakin' good guys, mad good! Ryan Scrivener

  45. R.... M....

N I got to see that hot ass red head!! " looked, found, played, LIVED!

  46. B.... T....

    LOVE, had to pull over the car and listen

  47. G.... M....

    Jon Wurster has the best teeth in rock 'n' roll.

  48. J.... R....

    Troy Barnes cameo, not to mention an appearance from Professor Professorson.

    J.... M....

    @James Morris There's Professor Sean Garrety playing guitar (1:11), Troy Barnes asking questions (1:53) and Professor Ian Duncan protesting (2:10)

  60. p.... b....

    fuckin lost it at "The Rise and Rise"

  61. B.... S....

    I can't believe the best music video ever was released in 2011 and I'm just now seeing it in 2015. Wtf?

    B.... S....

    I can't believe my comment from 2015 is still getting likes in 2017. Wtf?

  62. U.... N....

    Wow, from Vancouver, but show T.O. in the vid? BAD form, New Pornographers. Go fuck yourselves.

    U.... N....

    I can't tell if you missed the joke or are playing along with the joke. :-/

  63. B.... ....

    Holy shit that montage at the end.. I love this band :)

  64. P.... ....

    I must not have been paying attention the first time I watched this. I was initially 100% sure that The New Pornographers had Sam Rockwell in a video.

  65. C.... F....

    Still a better story than August Rush

  66. D.... B....

    So glad bands like these are here and gone. Fuckin hipsters. Go move to Portland and drink a coffee that no one has ever heard of. Crap music for uneducated ears.

    D.... B....

    I think the bad news is apparently you can't read lol

    D.... B....

    @***** lol yup sure do haha

    D.... B....

    @***** kinda weird you like to look at other people's pages to see what they have commented on... just saying...

    D.... B....

    ...Such a curious phenomenon, people like Danny here listen to crappy music so much they think it's actually good, then when they hear great music of actual quality they think it's bad. lol

    D.... B....

    Lol, I know music taste is relative, but instead of someone just saying they don't like this group they're insulting to both the band and the people who like it, so I was just returning the favor.

  67. s.... ....

    So cool. I love em

  68. G.... W....

    Hodgman finally shaved that damn mustache!

  69. w.... ....

    Is that neko case playing esther crowe?

  70. h.... ....

    there will never be a better song. ever.

  71. M.... ....

    That's that guy out of Labrador by Aimee Mann!

  72. A.... ....

    The great Gambino!

  73. M.... B....

    oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

  74. 2.... ....

    i want to see expectant dads.

  75. V.... H....

    Am I the only one who thinks Julie Klausner is extremely hot?

    V.... H....

    Schwaaaaang!

    V.... H....

    Fuckin A I'd wear that shit like a new pair of jeans!

    V.... H....

    No. She is very very hot!

    V.... H....

    She's a 5 on her best day.

  76. h.... ....

    this song makes me happy

  77. h.... ....

    not much to it, but great anyway

  78. b.... h....

    Was this filmed in madison?

  79. D.... ....

    2:14 It was nice of Mayor Ford on the left there to let the New Pornographers party at his place.

  80. H.... ....

    I feel so nostalgic when I listen to this song

  81. R.... A....

    Wow, my first time hearing these guys. They are REALLY good. Perhaps there's hope for modern rock yet.

  82. A.... F....

    Mother 13 only at #3? Must have been right before their manager pulled a total choke job.

    A.... F....

    But Pout was number 2

  83. D.... ....

    Is the whole cast of Community in that video ?

    D.... ....

    That and most people associated with The Best Show on WFMU.

  84. W.... A....

    a very good song!!!

  85. p.... ....

    2:24 Why doesn't this video have more views?

  86. G.... S....

    I don't even like this song but that intro.

  87. m.... ....

    what the fuck is this hipster shit?!?!?

  88. T.... ....

    VEVO was pushing one of their songs ages ago and I thought I was so cool for listening to a band with this name (Was only like 12 though).

  89. S.... ....

    PERFECT! hahaha Shout out to AP Mike and Terre T! <3 I don't know how this video came out 2.5 years ago and I'm just seeing it for the first time. I love the New Pornographers and Tom Scharpling. But I'm glad this video is finally in my life!

  90. S.... ....

    Yeah, had to look it up to make sure "Expectant Dads" wasn't a real movie.
    Not sure if this says more about me or Hollywood.

  91. p.... ....

    This is hilarious.

    I've gotten a little cold on them their last 2 albums, but they are still a GREAT band.

    I play their first 3 albums STILL every day. Favorite song from them still remains "Wild Homes".

  92. o.... ....

    The music video that did everything right but didn't even hit a million views. Fucking cruel.

    o.... ....

    Cheer up. It's now at 1.5 million views....though I think a good half a million were my binge repeating the video.

    o.... ....

    @Aaron Edwards Hooooooly crap this comment was posted over 6 years ago and yet the next reply is 6 days ago for me, that's insane

  93. W.... D....

    This is literally the greatest music video ever.

  94. T.... ....

    Tom Scharpling!!! Was it written in crayon?

  95. c.... ....

    ted leo lol!

  96. L.... V....

    I think it was something about seeing the video with a low view count but the video came out so long after the song was actually released.

  97. R.... G....

    Anyone else notice Thom Yorke's 'The Eraser' up on the wall at around 2:20 in?
